JOHN O'GROAT'8 HOU8E.
A F oa> Donalolle That Waa UH
a Landmark la Brltala.
In the reign of Jamos IV. of Scot-
land Jobn O'Uroat and lilt* two broth-
ers, Malcolm and (lavln, arrived at
Caithness and bought the lands of
Wane and DurIhIj.v, near the beach at
the mouth of Peuland flrtli, the north-
«astern extremity of the mainland of
Scotland. In time tbetr families In-
creased until there were eight house-
holds of the «ame name. They lived a*
neighbors In the greatest peace and am-
ity. each year holding a festival In the
original bouse. At one of tiiese annual
! .
Is
gatherings the question of precedence
arsse among the younger members,
and they disputed as to whom should
alt nearest the "head of the table" or
enter the room first.
The old grandfather, Johnny O'Groat
of history, was made arbitrator. He
promised to have all satisfactorily Met-
tled by the time of the next annual
meeting. Accordingly he built an eight
sided house In which to bold the an-
nual jubilee, This octagonal domicile
was fitted with a door and a window
on sach side and a round table In the
center. This arrangement made It pos-
sible for each family of tbe O'Oroats
to enter by bis own door and to sit at a
table which was practically "without s
head.'
This famous bouse was long a land-
mark In Britain and even to this day is
one of the Englishman' starting points
of measurement. "Land's End to John-
ny O'flmatv «icnifviue from one end

"A strange thing is tbe effect of elec-
trical energy on birds and wild beasts."

Philadelphia Record. "Woodpeckers

sies and at the samé time great 1
sympathy with them. The
he was the greateét llvlng aUtl
tbe gypsy tongue and «twtotns •
bim little pleasure compared with tbe
delight of being bulled fls brother by
gypsy hurte traders at KnglMh fairs
and gypsy musicians In llusslu and
Austria. >>. f
One day In Philadelphia be met Uttee
dark men whom he knew to be of an
ancient stock. He waa quite sure thut
they eould speak a htnguage which
contained roots of Sanskrit. Hindoo
and Persian. Vet they would make no
display of It. They would, like their
race, deny all knowledge of U m well
as tbe fact of tbeir gypey blood.
He addressed them In Italian, and
they answered fluently, lie changed
to obscure tongues of the east, and
again they replied.
"Have you got through all your lan-
guages?" be Inquired at Inst
"Yes, slgnor, all of them "
"Isn't there one left behind which
you have forgotten? Think a minuto."
"No. slgnor; non ."
"Wbut. not one?"
"Slgtior, you have seen every egg In
the basket."
I>land looked the msn fixedly In the
eye and put it qunstton In ttmuuny.
There was a startled glunce from one
to the other and then a sll<«n« . He
asked them, again in Romany. "Won't
you talk with a gypsy brother?"
Thst opened the gates. They shook
his hands in great emotion and tried
tmm
where poles honeycombed by the
sturdy bills of woodpeckers. The birds j to tell bim how happy they were In
mistake the bumming sound inside the
poles for the bumming of insects, snd
It is to get at tbeae supposed Insects
that they make their perforations.
"Hears, on the other band, think the
humming comes from bess. and they
overturn the stones at tbe pole's base
In their endeavor to get at the honey.
Wolves are afraid of the sound. A
wolf won't go near s telegraph pole
under any clrcumstancsa."
Aa Appatlaar.
In the family of Mr. H., treasurer
or one of our states, was a small boy
of four who was the possessor of a
fine rat terrier. One day the dog mys-
teriously disappeared, and the child,
Ralph, was heartbroken. Soon after-
ward Mrs. H. gave an Informal dinner
to other state officers and their wives,
and Master Ralph was allowed to be at
the table under promise of good be-
havior. Things went on smoothly till
the meat course, when a fine roaated
pig was brnugbt In. and Ralph thought
his long lost pet was going to*be served
to the guests. He aroae In his chair,
pointed at the pig and with tears In his
eyes and voice cried: "Oh, my doggie,
my doggie! 1 want my doggie!**—Good
Housekeeping-
having met some one who knew them.

The eclipse of the moon is full of
portent to the Macedonlsn Mohammed-
ans. It indicates bloodshed. It la
met with reports of firearms, and tbe
Imams call from tbe minarets the
faithful to public prayers In the
mosques. This recalls in a striking
manner tbe practices of many ssvage
and barbaric uatlona. The groat na-
tions of Asia, such aa tbe Hindoo# and
tbe Chinese, still cling to tbe belief in
tbe eclipse monster. Tbe latter meet It
with prayere. like the Turks. But even
In civilised Europe, both ancient and
modern, one finds numerous proofs of
this superstition. The Romans came to
the succor of the afflicted moon by
flinging firebrands Into the air. by the
blare of trumpete and tbe clang of
tirasen pota Tbe superstition survived
through tbe middle ages into u very
late period. France. Wales and Ireland
offer many lustaiKwe as iate as the
seventeenth century.

A Tvaplr at Dlvoree.
So long ago as 1230 the wife of a
Japanese regent obtained from the gov-
ernment permission to rescue women
from the bunds of cruel husbands. The
means she took were very simple. A
new sect of Buddhism known as the
Zen was Just then being formad. In
the temple of tbe Ken sanctuary was
established for fleeing wives. Wben
they vMshed separation or divorce from
their husbands, they could claim pro-
tection uuder the wing of the temple.
Once across the threshold, government
officials would not lie allowed to inter-
fere. atill less the furious husbands.
This "temple of divorce" was supreme
umpire on mutters of matrimonial dis-
agreement. The prmrtlce of the "privi-
lege of the temple" was maintained for
over 000 years. 1
